really for a genuine one?

i would have through its would be an 100% perfect fitment as the nissan genuine one i used was like soooo perfect!!!

thank you!!!

would u know have any c-west style bumper other than the lagana one?as looking at your web site there wasnt much there!

thanks

right, been searching for a while for a c-west bumper for sale!!!

has anyone got one or know where to get one??

i ve heard that the replica one are like a bitach to fit but how bad is it?

and also has any one had a genuien one??

cos im sure that they are made of different material?

the proper are made out of plastic like the OEM bumper but replica are made of FRP

as i have had countless of them on my s13 while i do a lot of drift days, as soons as they touch a cone they shatter into million pieces!!!!

so anyone got a second hand one???

also anyone got a good condition 3sge 6MT head for sale????

thanks

Frankie

fancy this its my car with geniune mileage

http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...showtopic=59937

how do u not get attached to the s15?its one of the best looking car other than a white altezza!!!

im selling my altezza just because i miss the s-body sooooo much

ok, if i wanted to get the head and valves ported and flowed, would it be better to get a manuel head to have this done or should i just do it on my as200 head?

also compression ratio? is that due to piston or just valves?

what other difference are there between the auto and manuel?

thanks

what about the ecu is that still stock

what about fitting an after market one or camcon type unit to allow you to tweak the cars set up

l

yes i was thinking an ecu too, but if i change it i would propably want the motec one, because in later day i wouldnt need to upgrade it!!! or if im just goin to light tune the car im sourceing a TRD or Tom's one.....which would just be a plug and play!

thanks

Build the 3SGE up... forged rods and lower comp pistons, 800cc injectors, upgraded fuel pump, ECU and a GT30 should get your 400+ wheel HP and not ruin the balance of the car.... which would be a shame considering how much you have spent on handling mods!

There is loads of info on built 3S's on the MR2 forum www.mr2oc.com.

By the way if you ever have an accident and decide to part it out let me know hahhaa!

P.S. my car was already white when I bought it... white is by far the toughest colour for altezza's thats for sure!

i never like the idea of tuning a high compression engine to a low one, just sort of feels like that car is losing it's "soul" if u know what i mean!!!

so is the engine exactly the same as the mr2, i mean technically? e.g. size, compression, ratio ans stuff?

rev the 3s to 11k and the motor will **** it self

and i make inlets and quad throttle set ups as well much cheaper than TRD

thats obviously with uprated internals, totally different head for sure and maybe some con-rod!!

but i heard some rumours that does the manuel altezza have titiaanium valve springs as standard? or thats just crap?

oh really??? how much would you charge if i were to get you to make up some for me?? is it that u using a ae-111's quad setup?

thanks

oh shix ur about 7500 miles away!!!!

but still would u do it?

Go for the 1jz IMHO mate,

and you can read GSportscars thread on his 2jz build. Its a lot of work.

I looked into it, but costs can just keep spiralling.

yes thats what im afride of too, just cost and the time!

right, guys since i brough the car off gary, the car been lovely and love the ride, havent done much apart from sprayed it white

here is the mod when i brough it.

Carbon bonnet, RSR manifold 4-2-1, Buddy Club Spec II exhaust, HKS Racing Suction Reloaded, HKS Hipermax suspension, TRD 2way LSD + 4.7 final gear, Cusco front camber kit, Carbing cooling plate, TRD oil cap, TRD themo, BILLION radiator cap, BILLION coolant pipe, BILLION exhaust wrap, Spilte Fire direct ingnition bridge, TRD black housing headlight (blue back lens) with 6500k HID, TRD carbon grill, TRD front upper strut brace, TRD rear upper brace, Rear boot brace, TRD front and rear lower brace, Toms front tension rod, TOMS front and rear lower tie brace, Full TRD bushes all round, TRD engine mount and gearbox mount, TRD instrument with center rev, TRD short shift, TRD anti-roll bar (yellow), Defi BF water temp, oil temp, exhaust temp, oil pressure, 17" Black Super Advan with 225/40/17 all round, Manual conversion, Helix Cerametalic Clutch, Cusco light flywheel, Carbon GD mirror, Ikeya pillow tension rod

so the car handles like a dream, but im not sure but in my opinion, all car with electric throttle body is a bit slow on the pick up, so i was thinking of a power upgrade, but here is the quesion, should i spend over 5k to mode N/A or have a 1jz twin turbo engine put in?

N/A- trd individual throttle bodies, higher lift cams, titanium spring, ported etc so simply get the head upgraded all run under a motec ecu to rev up til about 11k rpm

this conversion would cost around 4-6k resulting max of 270-300BHP

or

engine transplant- 1jz twin turbo from a soerar or a chaser which is a 2500cc twin turbo stright six, which will be 280 even on standard ecu also benfits on one of the best gear box around which is the R154 box, this set up can easily be tuned til around 350-400 with one or two bit extras!!

this would cost around 3-4k but power is unlimited,

but what is in my mind is that if im not sure if i had a different engine put in it might feel different.....

and also, if monster matt see this please give me a brife idea of how hard was it to change to the 2jz engine please, thank you

so what is your opinion on power upgrade???

thanks

so did got round fitted but relised that some how its not getting enough pressure to push through the cooler, and hense no pressure the car just would started. maybe a bigger oil pump would solve the problem????

so has no one fitted one??

mine is a yank item with filter relocated...

so trying to fit one yesterday.....with sandwich and oil relocated?

but no pressure after it was fitted...

anyone had this problem??

thanks

mr prolex could you confirm that im on the list or not because i have paid!!!

from what i have witnessed, the handbrake is a drifters best friend

yea talking about hand brakes, lexus altezza's hand brakes are really good as standard....

you think so.......

ive found they only become effective after a bit of work, could be my 255 rears that make the handbrake work a tad more...but im not that impressed

i do have a plan in the pipeline for a more effective handbrake

as i said standard........maybe u dont find that is because ur car is no where near standard.......

and u should try standard nissan hand brakes compair to these

as im not "BDC" level.....i suppose

Map click Satellite to give a real world birds eye view

Here are some directions from the A1 at Grantham.

You are entering Grantham.

Follow the B1174 for 0.4 miles.

Leave B1174 and turn right into Bridge End Road (A52). Stay on for 0.93 miles.

You just left Grantham.

Leave Bridge End Road (A52) and head straightforward onto Somerby Hill (A52). Stay on for 1.55 miles.

Leave Somerby Hill (A52) and turn left into High Dyke (B6403). Stay on for 3.85 miles.. Leave High Dyke (B6403) and turn left into Heath Lane.

Stay on for 0.41 miles.

You have arrived at your destination Heath Lane.

DO NOT try and enter by any other route. You will only end up upsetting the MOD Guards (not wise) and the local population. Possibly putting the future of motorsport on the venue in jeopardy.

NOTE. There is NO POSTCODE as the entry is a Guard Post over 1.5 miles from the nearest RAF Admin Building. Forget Sat Nav you will have to read a map.

i think reading a map is great...but dangous when driving at silly speed on unresisable twisty b roads!!!!

no im not goin to norfolk arena on the 7th, cant make it yet and its was only the first time i drifted in the altezza, so still need setting up and sorting out before im happy for it to do it again.

yea i just need a computer unit to raise the rav limiter to about 9-9.5k than i would be more happy, as its only 7.3k at the moment and its bouncing off quiet hard as i have a 4.7 final drive too...

i dont want to strip my car out as its still an everyday car!!!

with my pass experience with turbo cars, i reckon if i make it up to around 250-280 Breaks than it would be a lot more easier to drift!!!

one thing i found with drifting with altezza,....its sooooooooo fuel eco friendly i only used a little over half a tank!!!!!!

you need to concentrate more on weight shifting to initiate than worry about Hp....the ae86's only have about 3 hp, but because you throw them around, you can get good angle....they use there weight to initiate,

yes i know how to use the weight and do the "scandanivan swing"........

just feels as the car like to pull stight alot, and dont really like it being side ways....

maybe due to a short wheel base??

Im gonna look like abit of a tool for asking this....but how exactly do you drift?, i got a new set of tyres to put on my car but i need to give the old budgets a good send off

i got a perfect place to do it bt i just dont really fancy breaking my clutch or anythin when im experimenting with it just being a standard IS.

Read something in a mag about keeping the revs up, putting it in 2nd then letting the clutch out when youv threw it into a corner but could do with some expert teaching

mate no one is wrong for asking a quesion...im from a friendly world ha.....

so yea its fairly simple actually u really should start off easy like doing a dount or something......turn the traction control off might be a good advice....

just image ur doin a wheel spin hard.......and start turning the wheels and u should feel the rear end stepping out....its all about feels!!!!

if ur want more info go to www.driftworks.com.....

everything u need is on there!!!!!

btw.....how do i get a gold signture?????i am a gold member!!!!

trying to contact steve???but him pm is full!!!
